Probably not the right thread for this. Can an admin move the following discussion?Originally posted by Carlin View Post
I watched the episode last night and was elated. The script on the tomb is Hellenic and I could make out 'ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΣ' written out. Despite this, Oscar Isaac's character identifies the text as 'Macedonian'. I am curious: to my knowledge the Macedonian Empire employed the Koiné language for adminstrative purposes but in this work of fiction the character identifies the language specifically as Macedonian. In reality, did the ancient Macedonians use a form of Koiné that was clearly distinguishable from other forms and was unique to them?Leave a comment:

At number two edition published by George Deborn in New York in 1836, Charles Rolin opened many interesting topics, which we will write in the coming days. The material is comprehensive and should be seriously analyzed. One of the more interesting details that you will make an impression, is surely the fact the origin of Plato. Plato was a Macedonian from Thrace, who even after his 15th year of life for the first time encountered the Hellenic language, when heading for Athens to be educated. There are many interesting details...
